First of all, thank you for reading this post. I've been reading through a lot of posts since I've registered here and finally mustered the courage to post a problem that I've been having since 20. I have really thick hair, but over the course of 2 years I have been thinning, and it is especially noticeable when my hair is wet. I can run my hand through my hair and sure enough, a strand of hair or two will always appear. When I take a shower, rinse my hair and shampoo it, look at my hands, there will be some strands also. Perhaps it is due to stress, but I can't deny that my father went bald as well so those genetics might have passed on to me. When my hair is wet, I can see my scalp very well. Especially the crown area + left side temple. My hair used to be able to stand on its own, putting it in a spiky style but now its just flat and following the natural growth pattern. Attached are photos, but the photos doesn't do it justice, it might be the angle. Am I going bald?

Can't tell based on the pictures you provided.

Upload better pictures of your full hairline and crown area exposed.

By seeing your pics alone I wouldn't say you are balding. Your hair looks full and thick. However, taking your story into account (thinner hair over time, family history) it is possible that you are in the very early stages of androgenetic alopecia. If that's the case, the good news is that you can easily keep what you have with current treatments.
